black cat and golden retriever. that's how most people would describe me and ethan. i'm the black cat and he's the golden retriever. i can't disagree with them either, i have brown hair and dark eyes and i tend to stay out of peoples way and keep to myself. ethan is the exact opposite with his lighter hair and eyes, and is the most outgoing and bubbly person i know.
this party is one example of why i'm okay with that comparison. there are so many people here it's crazy, and luckily for me all i have to do is hold ethan's hand and say hi to whoever he's talking with, occasionally joining the conversation while i drink my mock tail.
it's been about an hour and 6 different conversations when ethan leans down to me. "are you good here or do you want to go outside or something for a while?" "can we go outside for a bit please" he nods and takes me outside. there's a few people out here but not many, and the fresh air is a nice change from the sweaty humid air in the house. we sit down on the patio and i lean my head on his shoulder. "thank you, for bringing me outside i mean" he smiles "of course babe. plus i was getting kinda bored of inside" i laugh not being able to imagine that.
another two hours go by and we decide to leave. ethan found the hockey boys and i eventually let him go with them while i went with their girlfriends. despite how different i look from them we all get along well and are relatively good friends. i said goodbye to the girls and ethan the guys before we headed out.
"i'm glad you and the girls get along well" ethan tells me on the way back to my apartment. "me too. i was actually really scared of them when we first got together" i admit to him, even though he knows.
i unlock my apartment and we change our clothes before we decide to order doordash and watch a movie. this is a rare weekend off for ethan so we're taking full advantage of it by spending the entire thing together. we sit on the couch and wait for our food, trying to choose a movie. my phone rings as we're narrowing the options down to "the little mermaid", "jaws", "leave the world behind", and "the spongebob movie: sponge on the run" i pick it up and it's my little brother calling from home about 3 hours behind michigan. "hey jj" "hi issa, where's ethan?" he gets straight to the point of the call and i'm anything but surprised. i pass ethan my phone and put my head on his chest, tuning out him and my brothers conversation. "wait what movies are you'd deciding between?" i hear jack ask. he's 16 so the movie options will probably appeal to him... i think. ethan and i tell him the options and he picks spongebob, so that's what we pick.
there's a knock on my door i know is our food so i leave jack and ethan to go grab it. i come back to see that they hung up and ethan is waiting for his food eagerly. i set the bag down and we grab our food before we cuddle up and turn on the movie. by the end we are both super tired and decided to go to bed.
we both change into pjs and get in bed and cuddle up before falling asleep. to some that may just be a typical saturday, but for me, that's a pretty perfect saturday with my golden retriever.
